Self-PrOtectiOn.

The South is solid because her highest
interests demand that she shall stand by
the party which respects her rights and
refuses to override the guarantees of the
Federal Constitution. 1t is more impor-
tant to her that she shall not be harassed
by Federal officials than that there shall
be either a prote ctive tariff or tariff for
revenue. With the success of the Repub-
lican party in the national elections would
come TO her the apprehension that her
civilization was threatened with destruc-
tion.
If we would infer from Republican out
givings what would happen to the South
under a Republican administration, we
need only consult the leading Republican
papers and orators Almost with one
voice they declare that there must be new
reconstruction measures passed for humil-
iating the South. They declare in favor
of the policy OF placing the white people
of South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi
and Florida under the heel OF the negroes.
And if the Republicans once get all the
congressman from those States added TO
their votes in Congress from the Northern
States, then Maryland, Virginia, North
Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, and in
deed all the Southern States, will soon
thereafter be Republicanized and African
lied.
The same policy was advocated indi-
rectly by the National Convention of Re-
publican Clubs that was in session in New
York city last week. All their proceedings
looked to forcible control of congress
sional elections in the South by the Fede-
raj Government. Think of hundreds of
delegates from the South sitting silent in
that convention and allowing a resolution
to be passed condemning a southern sena-
tor for having said that he would allow no
man to call Mr. Davis a traitor without
meeting the charge with fat contradic-
tion. Mr. Lamar once said about Mr. Lin
coin what hundreds Of thousands Of south
ern men said during the war, land what
few if any OF US would say now,) and for
this utterance Republican convention
having in it hundreds of southern men
declare they would have him excluded
from a national Office.
In view Of these facts, is it inconsistent
in the southern people to refuse to divide
upon any question connected with the
tariff? What are higher or lower customs
duties, or the silver question, when con-
lrasted with the all-important question as
to whether we shall have friendly or q
hostile administration in power in Wash
ington Is there any Inconsistency in
voting with our friends rather than with
our enemies ?-Richnaond Dispatch.

very important committees, and also on

cert ain trespassers to enter the premises
whereas some of them had entered the
field before he reached the spot and for
bade them.
Held, That it was fresh aggression Tor
the trespassers to pass with a strong hand
beyond the point at which they were
when forbidden 20 enter, and whether q
majority or all were in the field was i'm
material. The testimony showing that
the defendant was present and did forbid
the act Of the trespasses, il was error to
80 charge the Jury as to limit their con-
sideration to the question whether be for
bade the entry before any had cotton into
the field or not.

He Will Get About $4,000 as

A Committee Appointed to
Settle on Some Basis

Rev. Sam Smith evidently knew what
. he was about when he rendered his res
tignation as pastor of the First NJ. f.
church, and the resignation was written
with '1arge and influential object in
view instead of on the impulse and heat
of the moment, as some seem to think.
All the time the controversy was going
on silent current had been moving in
the Rev. Sans direction. known to him
of course, and it finally came to head
yesterday Afternoon. About twenty-five
well known citizens gathered in ID. 5.
b. JOhnSton'S Office, in the Union block,
for the purpose of organizing Peoples
church. The gentlemen were OF various
denominations. Some were members OF
the First NJ. E., and all were staunch
friends of the Rev. Sam Smith,
i'll whose interests this move
ment was iuaugurated. and who
was present himself to aid in
the organization Without loss of time
motion was carried to organize a''Peo-
pies church," and another motion to
hire Rev. Sam Smith as pastor was
carried unanimously and witha rush.
No salary has been named as yet, though
it is thought the reverend gentleman
will receive between $1,000 and $1,000
per year. A subscription was taken up
right there in the office yesterday topay
his salary for the coming year, and this
melted $500. As there are thrice as
many more people to hear from, who
have signified their desire to link their
fortunes with the Peoples church. ana
who must chip in like amount, Rev.
Sam will receive 5000 or more for the
first wear at least. A committee was
appointed at once, consisting of the fol-
lowing seven persons, to decide upon a
PLAN OF ORGANIZATION ga.
and other matters relative to perma-
neIft establishment: Chairman, Rey.
Sam Smith, and E. E. Seribner, j. K.
Nichols. C.. f. Marvin, E. j. Hudson, W.
+. Graves and E. G.. Long. DIR. Smith
made quite a speech, thanking the gen
tlemen for their kindness and showing
the course he thought should be pur-
sued in the establishment OF the church.
The only way he alluded to the recent
troubles in the two churches, as aired i'll
the newspapers, was to thoroughly eX-
plain the matter from beginning to end
and free the minds of those before him
OF any doubts that may have fingered
there. He appeared to feel quite elated
over the result of the meeting, and the
ROSY flush of triumph might have been
seen on his cheek had one looked for it.
He refused to make any statement when
Questioned by a GLOBE reporter, and
referred him to Mr.. Scribner,. who said:
I'VE have not yet secured place III
